Cody. Its coming up on 2 years since your passing. We all miss you greatly. Session 587 will keep your memory alive. I still remember us laughing hysterically during study sessions about you telling us those farm stories and going to training at the Academy, then working out to achieve our goals. I hope we all work hard to make you proud of us in our careers.

My name is Ann Peterson (Cody's Mother)
It has been 10 months since Cody's passing, and I am just finding all the condolences that were written.
Thank you to each and every one of you for taking time and sending your heartfelt condolences.
There are a lot of tough times and more to come I am sure but, with our extended families such as all of you it helps.
I pray every night for the safety of all of officers who are putting their lives on the line every day for us to be safe and be able to go home to their families. Thank you for your services!
God Bless each and every one of you and your families!

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Officer Trainee Olafson, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. But our Lord took you back to Him as you were just beginning your life, for reasons known to Him alone. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. My heart breaks for the sorrow that your parents and grandparents are experiencing over the loss of their son and grandson. May God immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family, and the Customs and Border Protection. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

“My goal is to achieve something bigger than myself, something that has more purpose to contribute towards my country in a way I’ve never been able to achieve. I want to push myself and improve my overall well-being and mindset of becoming a better person and to become a well-respected, open-minded, and a thorough CBP Officer. I’m going to push myself more than I have ever done to achieve that.”
